Online check-in times for quarter two are available below. We will update this posting for subsequent quarters as we move through our orbits model for curriculum delivery. Please note that this schedule is subject to change depending on school committee decisions to move between different education models (i.e. hybrid, remote, or in-person learning)

Quarter 2

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) is requiring the influenza immunization for all children 6 months of age or older who are attending Massachusetts child care, pre-school, kindergarten, K-12, and colleges and universities.

Students will be expected to have received a flu vaccine by December 31, 2020, for the 2020-2021 influenza season, unless either a medical or religious exemption is provided.

This new flu immunization requirement to enter school in January is in addition to existing vaccine requirements for all those attending child care, preschool, K-12, and colleges and universities in Massachusetts.

Please submit your student’s proof of immunization to your school nurse as soon as possible.

Return of Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade Students At Tuesday’s School Committee meeting, the Committee voted to bring back our youngest learners: Pre-K, Kindergarten, and Grade 1, for four days of in-person learning beginning Wednesday, 11/4. Students in Cohorts A, B & C in those grade levels will be joining us for in-person instruction each week, Tuesday through Friday. These students and classrooms will still be maintaining six feet of spacing, and we will not be lessening any of our safety and sanitation guidelines or protocols. As stated in the September 3rd welcome back letter, although we seek to minimize changes for students, shifts to a different homeroom teacher may be necessary in order to safeguard the health and safety of all students. You will receive a separate notification if we need to change your child’s homeroom placement.

Being prepared for cold weather

If your child/children will be late or absent from school, you must report their absence. This includes remote learning students. The attendance line can be called 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please leave your name, child’s name, teacher, and the reason for their tardiness or absence. School hours are Tuesday-Friday, with remote learning on Monday. Students not logged into their virtual classroom or present at their physical classroom by 8:15 AM will be marked tardy unless other arrangements have been made with the in-person/remote teacher. The attendance line is: 1-781-563-2050

Please note that no outside visitors are allowed in the building at any time. If you need to pick up your child early or you are dropping them off late, please let the front office know by calling 1-781-293-5411. We will send your child out to you.

If you are dropping off items for your child, there is a bin at the front door where items can be placed and will be protected. Please call the main office or ring the intercom buzzer and the front office will retrieve the item and deliver it to the appropriate student or location.

The counseling staff at Bryantville Elementary are happy to offer an optional mindfulness opportunity for students in grades K-6. Each Monday, a member of our counseling team will offer a 30-minute "Drop-in/Check-in" time for students to say hello, practice some relaxation strategies, and get centered for the week ahead.

Each Monday that school is in session, go to meet.google.com and join a meeting with the grade level code:

Grades K-3: 11:00-11:25 Meeting code: bryrelax

Grades 4-6: 11:30-11:55 Meeting code: brychill

Dismissal & Arrival 

This won’t change from past-practice, but we will change if needed *No parents/others allowed in the building unless it’s an emergency.

Front Entrance (Door 1)-Parent Drop Off and Pickup

• 8:05 AM will be the earliest entry time (unless you have YMCA care)
• You may park in spaces out front
• Students should be masked when entering the building-escorted by teachers/staff. 

Bus Drop Off-Building Rear (Door 9)

• Busses will drop off in a staggered manner

Late Arrivals and Early Dismissals 

Parents should check-in from the front of the building/building speaker.

Early dismissal procedures or late drop off will be similar to our previous practice with the exception that parents will wait outside the main doors for their children.  Administrators will complete the information needed for the dismissal book (time & reason).

Pick Up and Drop Off

We are in the process of distributing placards to families who regularly use car transportation to school. The placards feature the families’ last name and the students’ grade level. We ask that you post them on your car window (or simply hold them up) when you arrive at school for dismissal only so we can expedite an orderly dismissal. Please remember that the drop-off zone in front of the school does not allow for parents to get out of their cars. Faculty and staff will escort and direct students to the proper location for pick-up.

Bus Transportation

Due to current health and safety restrictions, students who do not have a bus pass are not allowed to ride the bus. Please call the transportation office at 1-781-829-0832 if you have any further questions. 

Lunch

At the start of the day, students will place their cafeteria lunch order with their teacher online. Breakfast, lunch, snack will be delivered to each classroom. Lunches will be grade-based and occur in the classroom or outside. Students may remove masks and eat while seated at least 6 feet apart. Water bottles are recommended. Students cannot use their mouths at any of the water fountains.

Be mindful of Nut/Peanut Free classrooms when planning your child's lunches. Please do not send any peanut or nut containing product for your child to eat. Letters from the nurse were included in the classroom placement mailings. 

The lunch menu is posted here.

Masks

Staff, like students, must wear face masks, except when eating (or during teacher announced mask breaks).

• No neck-gators or bandanas allowed for students or staff
• Masks must be worn when entering the building
• Students should bring masks from home but the school will provide masks to students, as needed (e.g. lost/broken).

Weekly updates are sent on Fridays each week.  A copy of the newsletter is also located in the Bryantville Virtual Backpack.
